12954 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 21, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It, therefore: (1) is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

airspace action of amending Alaskan 

VOR Federal Airway V–333 and 

revoking Alaskan VOR Federal Airway 

V–401 in Alaska qualifies for categorical 

exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.) and its implementing 

regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, paragraph 5–6.5a, which 

categorically excludes from further 

environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points), and paragraph 5–6.5i, 

establishment of new or revised air 

traffic control procedures conducted at 

3,000 feet or more above ground level 

(AGL); procedures conducted below 

3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic 

to be routinely routed over noise 

sensitive areas; modifications to 

currently approved procedures 

conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do 

not significantly increase noise over 

noise sensitive areas, and increases in 

minimum altitudes and landing 

minima. For modifications to air traffic 

procedures at or above 3,000 feet AGL, 

the Noise Screening Tool (NST) or other 

FAA-approved environmental screening 

methodology should be applied. As 

such, this action is not expected to 

result in any potentially significant 

environmental impacts. In accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5– 

2 regarding Extraordinary 

Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed 

this action for factors and circumstances 

in which a normally categorically 

excluded action may have a significant 

environmental impact requiring further 

analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 21, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 12955 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of the airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it modifies the 

Air Traffic Service (ATS) route structure 

as necessary to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

National Airspace System. 

History 

The FAA published a NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA 2023–1464 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 43258; July 7, 

2023), proposing to revoke G–4 in the 

vicinity of Dillingham, AK. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. One comment was received. No 

response was provided as the comment 

was outside of the scope of the proposal. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Colored Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6009 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This 

document amends the current version of 

that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, 

dated August 11, 2023, and effective 

September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 

7400.11H is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. These amendments will be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

revoking Colored Federal Airway G–4 in 

its entirety, in the vicinity of 

Dillingham, AK. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It, therefore: (1) is not a

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

airspace action of revoking Colored 

Federal Airway G–4 in the vicinity of 

Dillingham, AK qualifies for categorical 

exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.) and its implementing 

regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, paragraph 5–6.5a, which 

categorically excludes from further 

environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points), and paragraph 5– 

6.5k, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental review the 

publication of existing air traffic control 

procedures that do not essentially 

change existing tracks, create new 

tracks, change altitude, or change 

concentration of aircraft on these tracks. 

As such, this action is not expected to 

result in any potentially significant 

environmental impacts. In accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5– 

2 regarding Extraordinary 

Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed 

this action for factors and circumstances 

in which a normally categorically 

excluded action may have a significant 

environmental impact requiring further 

analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

[FISCAL–2022–0003] 

RIN 1530–AA27 

Management of Federal Agency 

Disbursements 

AGENCY: Bureau of the Fiscal Service, 

Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: On January 10, 2023, the 

Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) 

Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal 

Service) issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Fiscal 

Service’s Management of Federal 

Agency Disbursements rule, which 

implements a statutory mandate 

requiring the Federal Government to 

deliver non-tax payments by electronic 

funds transfer (EFT) unless Treasury 

determines that a waiver of the 

requirement is appropriate. Fiscal 

Service is now issuing this final rule 

(Final Rule) to adopt the amendments as 

proposed, with one minor change. 

Among other things, the Final Rule 

strengthens the EFT requirement by 

narrowing the scope of existing waivers 

from the EFT mandate or requiring 

agencies to obtain Fiscal Service’s 

approval to invoke certain existing part 

208 waivers. The use of electronic 

payments has expanded significantly 

since the waivers from the EFT mandate 

were first published in 1998, and the 

Final Rule appropriately updates part 

208’s waiver provisions, given the broad 

availability of safe and secure electronic 

payment options currently available. In 

doing so, the Final Rule leverages
